Features
yy PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The Router supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections. The Router also supports MSCHAP.
yy DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns all LAN IP settings to each host on your network.
This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur.
yy Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the Router allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet
concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user. NAT improves
network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link
two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.
yy TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The Router supports TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible
with access servers manufactured by major vendors.
yy Default Routing – This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the destination address is unknown. This is
particularly useful when/if the Router functions as the sole connection to the Internet.
yy Precise ATM Traffic Shaping – Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This function helps to establish the
Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.
yy Easy Installation – The Router uses a Web-based graphical user interface program for convenient management access and easy set up. Any
common Web browser software can be used to manage the Router.

WPS Button
Use the WPS button on the right side
panel of the Router to establish a
secure connection to wireless clients
that support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup).
Note: For instructions on how to use the WPS button, please see “Wi-Fi Protected Setup” on page 50.
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the Router is very important. Do not place the Router in an enclosed area such as a closet,
cabinet or in the attic or garage. Place the Router in a location where it can be easily connected to Ethernet devices, the telephone line, and a power source.
Installation Notes
In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the Router that will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their
account information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required. You can
print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information needed to set up the Router. If it is
necessary to reconfigure the device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure to keep this information safe and private.
Operating Systems
The Router uses an HTML-based Web interface for setup and management. The Web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of
running Web browser software, including Microsoft Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Macintosh Mac OSX.
Web Browser
Any common Web browser can be used to configure the Router using the Web configuration management software. The program is designed to work best with more
recently released browsers such as Internet Explorer v6.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox v1.0 or later, Safari 2.0 or later, and Google Chrome 1.0 or later. The Web browser
must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus
protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your computer.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the
device as a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway
device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored
in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including
account information used to identify and verify the connection.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN
side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device, such as a router, or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways.
Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.
Wireless LAN
Computers using the wireless network can access the Internet using the embedded wireless access point. Wireless workstations must have an 802.1n, 802.1g, or
802.1b wireless network card installed to use the Router. In addition, the workstation must be configured to operate on the same channel and SSID as the Router. If
wireless security is used, the wireless workstations must be properly configured for the security settings used.
Password
This is the Password used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. This is used to verify the identity of your account.
Modulation Type
ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to transmit data over the allotted signal frequencies. Some users may need to change the type of modulation
used for their service. The default DSL modulation (Auto Synch-Up) used for the Router automatically detects all types of ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ modulation.
Security Protocol
This is the method your ADSL service provider will use to verify your Username and Password when you log on to their network. Your Router supports the PAP and
CHAP protocols.
VPI
Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in conjunction with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify the data
path between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure
the VPI and VCI as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the Web
management interface.
VCI
Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) is used in conjunction with the VPI to identify the data path between your
ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the Router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI as
instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the Web management interface.
Password
This is the Password you will be prompted to enter when you access the Router’s management interface. The default Password is “admin.” The user may change this.
It is recommended that you collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL connection in the future.
Once you have the above information, you are ready to set up and configure your Router.
Device Installation
The Router maintains three separate physical interfaces, an ADSL, an Ethernet, and a wireless Interface. Place the Router in a location where it can be easily
connected to Ethernet devices, the telephone line, and a power source. The Router should not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat.
Make sure the cables and power cord are placed safely out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with any electrical appliance, observe common
sense safety procedures.
The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting.
Power on Router
The Router must be used with the power adapter included with the device.
1. Connect the Power Adapter to the power receptacle located on the rear panel of the Router and plug the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet
or power strip.
2. Depress the Power button into the on position. You should see the Power LED indicator on the front panel shine bright green to indicate the device is
powered on.
3. If the Ethernet port is connected to a working device, check the LAN LED indicator to make sure the connection is valid. The Router will attempt to
establish the ADSL connection. If the ADSL line is connected and the Router is properly configured, this should light up after several seconds. If this is
the first time you have installed the device, some settings may need to be changed before the Router can establish a connection.
1. With the Router powered on (check the Power LED to make sure it lights steady green), press and hold down the reset button using a paper clip or
similar object for about 6 to 8 seconds.
2. The Router will restart. Watch the Power LED to verify that it is restarting.
3. When it is powered on again it is ready to be configured. The whole process takes about 30 seconds.
4. The device settings will be restored to the factory default IP address 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the default management Username
is “admin” and the default Password is “admin.”
Note: A factory reset will erase the current configuration settings and reset them to the default settings. After it has restarted, log in to the router’s
Web-based management interface and use the Setup Wizard to configure the basic settings.
Network Connections
Connect ADSL Line
Use the ADSL cable included with the Router to connect it to a telephone wall socket or receptacle. Plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle)
on the rear panel of the Router and insert the other end into the RJ-11 wall socket. If you are using a low pass filter device, follow the instructions included with the
device or the instructions given to you by your service provider. The ADSL connection represents the WAN interface, the connection to the Internet. It is the physical
link to the service provider’s network backbone and ultimately to the Internet.
Setup
This section will show you how to set up and configure your new D-Link router using the Web-based configuration utility.
All configuration and management of the Router is done using the Web-based management interface pictured in the example. The Setup Wizard is recommended
for most users. It allows you to configure the basic settings for the ADSL Internet connection and Ethernet (including DHCP) settings. To launch the Setup Wizard
click on the Setup Wizard button.
Note: The Setup Wizard is the easiest and quickest way to configure the Internet connection for most users.
To use the Setup Wizard, click the Setup Wizard button in the first browser menu
and follow the instructions in the menus that appear.
The initial menu summarizes the setup process. Click the Next button to proceed.
You may stop using the Setup Wizard at any time by clicking the Cancel button. If
you exit the wizard you will return to the ADSL Setup menu without saving any of
the settings changed during the process
The first menu of the Setup Wizard lists the basic steps in the process. These steps
are as follows:
3. Finish.
Many users will use a form of PPP connection. PPP connections require a Username
and Password to establish the Internet connection.
Click the Finish button to save the configuration and restart the Router.
Choosing the Others option will disable the VPI/VCI and Connection Type
menus. Click Next to choose the type of connection used for your account.
Select the connection type used by your ISP and click the Next button.
If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI number, type in the correct setting
in the available entry fields. Most users will not need to change these settings. The
Internet connection cannot function if these values are incorrect.
Some users may have to adjust the Connection Type from the drop-down menu.
Select the specific Connection Type from the drop-down menu. You may want to
copy the MAC address of your Ethernet adapter to the Router. Some ISPs record
the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first access
their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address)
from being allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC
address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address in the Cloned
MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC Address button. This will copy the
information to a file used by the Router to present to the ISP’s server used for DHCP.
If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI numbers, type in the correct setting
in the available entry fields. Most users will not need to change these settings. The
Internet connection cannot function if these values are incorrect.
If you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI numbers, type in the correct setting
in the available entry fields—in this example no changes are needed so this setting
is grayed out. Most users will not need to change these settings. The Internet
connection cannot function if these values are incorrect.
Choose the ADSL connection type used for your service listed under the heading
Manual ADSL Connection Setup, the menu changes according to the type of
connection to be configured. Configure the settings for the chosen Internet
Connection Type. Follow the instructions presented below for the type of connection
used for your ADSL service. The default Internet connection type is PPPoE/PPPoA.
Note: Most users DO NOT need to change configuration settings for the Virtual Circuit at the bottom of this menu. Normally these settings are changed
only for special circumstances and applications. Do not change these unless your ISP has given specific instructions to do so.
For information about these configuration settings, go to “Configure VPI and VCI” on page 27.
6. NAT (Network Address Translation) should remain Enable. If you disable NAT, Note: Use the Connect button at the bottom of the menu to reestablish

is restarted. Press Disconnect to terminate the Internet connection.
7. Most users should leave the IGMP setting as Enable. IGMP is used to manage
.
multicasts (such as audio or video streaming). Some network managers might
prefer to disable this function to prevent certain types of DoS attacks. To disable
IGMP select Disable. This will block all IP multicast traffic through the Router.
8. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default
route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to
access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the computer.
If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without
effecting the Router’s connection.
9. Click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the menu to apply and save
the new ADSL configuration.
3. NAT should remain Enable. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use
more than one computer for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled
system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT will be
disabled on all connections.
4. Most users should leave the IGMP setting as Enable. IGMP is used to manage
multicasts (such as audio or video streaming). Some network managers might
prefer to disable this function to prevent certain types of DoS attacks. To disable
IGMP select Disable. This will block all IP multicast traffic through the router.
5. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default
route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to
access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the computer.
If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without
effecting the Router’s connection.
3. NAT should remain Enable. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use
more than one computer for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled
system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT will
be disabled on all connections.
4. Most users should leave the IGMP setting as Enable. IGMP is used to manage
multicasts (such as audio or video streaming). Some network managers might
prefer to disable this function to prevent certain types of DoS attacks. To disable
IGMP select Disable. This will block all IP multicast traffic through the router.
5. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default
route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to
access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the computer.
If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without
effecting the Router’s connection.
VPI - The Virtual Path Identifier is used with the VCI to define a dedicated circuit on the ATM network portion of the connection to the Internet and WAN. Most users
will not need to change this setting.
VCI - The Virtual Channel Identifier is used with the VPI to define a dedicated circuit on the ATM network portion of the connection to the Internet and WAN. Most
users will not need to change this setting.
Virtual Circuit - Use this to enable or disable the PVC you are currently configuring. By default, the PVC0 is set to Enable.
If you plan to change QoS or traffic parameters, contact your ISP or network services provider for information on what types of adjustment are available or possible
for your account. Your ISP may not support the class of service you want to use.
To adjust ATM QoS parameters, select one of the Service Categories listed here and type in the PCR value in the entry field below. For the VBR service category,
an additional parameter (SCR) must also be defined.
UBR – Unspecified Bit Rate, this is the default category used for general-purpose Internet traffic where normal levels of packet loss and delay are acceptable. For
some applications or for multiple connection accounts, it may be desirable to specify the PCR.
CBR – Constant Bit Rate, usually used in circumstances where very low packet loss and very low Cell Delay Variable (CDV) are desirable.
VBR-rt – Real-time Variable Bit Rate. This models bursty traffic with specified peak and sustainable rates. Please note that when VBR-rt is specified, both PCR and
SCR are required (by ATM standards).
VBR-nrt – Non-real-time Variable Bit Rate, usually used when network traffic is characterized by bursts of packets at variable intervals, and some moderate packet
loss and delay is acceptable. This category is typically used for audio and video applications such as teleconferencing. The network must support QoS Class 2 to
use VBR-nrt.
Depending on which Service Category is selected, it will be necessary to change one or more of the following parameters:
PCR - Peak Cell Rate – The PCR is inversely related to the time interval between ATM cells. It is specified for all three service categories (UBR, CBR and VBR) in Kbps.
SCR - Sustainable Cell Rate – The SCR is defined for the VBR service category. This is the rate that can be sustained for “bursty”, on-off traffic sources. It is a function
of Maximum Burst Size (MBS) and the time interval (between cells).
Wireless Setup
The Router’s basic wireless and wireless network security settings are configured in the Wireless Settings configuration menu. To access this menu, click on the
Wireless Setup link in the left panel of the Setup menu directory. It is the first page that appears when you successfully access the Web manager.
The Wireless Settings menu presents three options for configuration. Choose from
one of the three following configuration procedures:
1. Launch the Wireless Network Setup Wizard to configure the Network Name
(SSID) and WPA wireless network security. Click the Wireless Network Setup
Wizard button to begin. This option is recommended for most users.
Note: The Wireless Network Setup Wizard uses WPA wireless network
security. If you wish to configure WEP wireless network security, use Manual
Wireless Network Setup.
2. Use the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Wizard to add individual wireless clients.
Click the Add Wireless Device with WPS button to use begin configuration
with WPS.
Note: Wireless clients added to using this method must support WPS.
3. Configure the SSID, channel and wireless network security settings manually.
Click the Manual Wireless Network Setup button to go to the general wireless
network settings menu.
In the first Wireless Setup Wizard menu, enter the name used for the wireless
network in the Network Name (SSID) entry field. The SSID or Service Set Identifier
is the name used for the wireless network or a part of the wireless network. Wireless
clients must use this SSID in order to access the wireless network and use the
Router.
To configure WPA wireless network security, the Wizard menu offers two options. The
easiest and recommended method will configure WPA network key automatically.
To automatically configure WPA network security, choose the option Automatically
assign a network key and click on the Next button to complete the wireless
configuration. The new Pre-Shared Key and WPA wireless security settings are
displayed in the Setup Complete! menu. For later reference, be sure to print this
menu; or copy the new automatically created Pre-Shared Key and paste it into a
document to be saved. Click on the Save button to save the new wireless settings.
The automatically created pre-shared key is randomly generated.
Note: For future reference, print out the Setup Complete! wizard menu
that lists the SSI, Security Mode, Cipher Type, and most importantly, the
Pre-Shared Key.
To manually enter the WPA network key, click the Manually assign a network
key option and click on the Next button. (See the description beginning on the
next page.)
To configure a WPA network security key manually using the Wireless Network
Setup Wizard, first enter the name used for the wireless network in the Network
Name (SSID) entry field, then choose the Manually assign a network key option
and click on the Next button
In the new menu, type the Wireless Security Password used for wireless network
access in the space provided. WPA password or network pre-shared key must be a
character string of 8 to 64 alphanumeric characters (alphanumeric characters are
standard keyboard characters A-Z, a-z and 0-9); or enter exactly 64 hexadecimal
characters (hexadecimal characters are numbers 0-9 and alphabet letters A-F and
are not case specific). Click the Next button to go to the final wizard menu
Note: Choose a password that is easy to remember but difficult for others
to guess.
The new Pre-Shared Key and WPA wireless security settings are displayed in the
Setup Complete! menu. For later reference, be sure to print this menu; or copy
the new Pre-Shared Key and paste it into a document to be saved. Click the Save
button to save the new wireless settings.
Note: For future reference, print out the Setup Complete! wizard menu
that lists the SSI, Security Mode, Cipher Type, and most importantly, the
Pre-Shared Key.
Note: To use WPS with the Router, you need to have wireless clients that support WPS. If you have one or more Wireless Clients without WPS support,
it is advised to secure your network manually using the Setup Wizard.
The Router supports two ways to activate and establish a WPS connection:
yy Push Button method
yy Pin Code technology
The WPS Push Button technology requires a (virtual) button on your Wireless Client to establish a connection between the Router and your Wireless Client. Some
Wireless Clients work with a real button to activate the WPS Push Button technology; some Wireless Clients use a software-based virtual button.
Follow the steps below to activate and establish a WPS connection with the Push Button technology:
1. Press the WPS Button at the right side of the Router, the button will blink green.
2. Press the WPS Button at your wireless client. This can be a hardware button or a virtual button in the software of your wireless client.
The Router will activate WPA security over your wireless network and accepts the wireless connection of your Wireless Client.
Note: The Router will keep the WPS authentication active for up to 120 seconds or until the connection is established. During this process, the WPS
button will blink green. If there is no connection in these 120 seconds, the button stops blinking and the WPS authentication process is stopped.
3. If the authentication of the wireless client succeeds, the WPS button on the router will stop blinking and go dark. Test the wireless client to make
sure it is now connected to the Router. Repeat this procedure to add more WPS wireless clients. A successful WPS connection means the wireless
client is able to use the router and the wireless network is secured with WPA encryption.
The WPS Push Button technology requires a (virtual) button on your Wireless Client to establish a connection between the Router and your Wireless Client. Some
Wireless Clients work with a real button to activate the WPS Push Button technology; some Wireless Clients use a software-based virtual button.
Follow the steps below to activate and establish a WPS connection with the Push Button technology:
1. Click on the Add Wireless Device with WPS button in the Wireless Settings menu to launch the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Wizard. Choose
the Auto option and click on the Next button.
Note: Click the Manual option to go to the manual configuration menu for wireless settings.
3. You are now prompted to connect to the client using WPS. You have 120 seconds to establish the link.
4. Press the WPS button (or virtual button) on your wireless client. This can be a hardware button or a virtual button in the WPS software of your
wireless client (see example below).
5. A successful WPS connection means the wireless client is able to use the Router and the wireless network is secured with WPA encryption. Test the
wireless client to make sure it is now connected to the Router. Repeat this procedure to add more WPS wireless clients.
Follow the steps below to use the PIN Code method to establish a WPS connection to a WPS wireless client.
1. Click on the Add Wireless Device with WPS button in the Wireless Settings menu to launch the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Wizard. Choose
the Auto option and click on the Next button.
2. In the next menu it is necessary to enter a PIN code that is generated by the wireless client. If the client has a software utility such as a Setup Wizard,
this is used to generate the PIN code for the device. (See the example on the next page).
3. Choose the PIN option and enter the PIN code obtained from the wireless client (see example below) in the space provided and click Connect.
4. The Router will activate WPA security on your wireless network and accept the connection of your wireless client with the PIN code just entered.
For example, the D-Link client Wi-Fi Protected Setup Wizard includes an option to use the PIN code method. The generated PIN number appears in a menu screen
like those pictured here:
Wireless Network Name (SSID) - The Wireless Network Name or SSID can be
changed to suit your wireless network. Remember that any wireless device must
have the same SSID and use the same channel in order to use the router. The
SSID can be a continuous character string (i.e. no spaces) of up to 16 characters
in length.
Enable Auto Channel Scan – Enable this to allow the access point to automatically
detect the channel used for local 802.11 wireless operation. This can be used if there
are other wireless access points within range operating on the wireless network.
Wireless Channel – The Wireless Channel may be changed to channels that are
available in your region. Channels available for wireless LAN communication are
subject to regional and national regulation. Remember that any wireless device
must have the same SSID and use the same channel in order to use the Router.
802.11 Mode – The default setting is simultaneous 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n
compatible operation. The access point can be forced to operate as an 802.11b only,
802.11g only, or 802.11n access point if preferred. Additional options are 802.11b
plus 802.11g or 802.11g plus 802.11n.
Hide Wireless Network – When enabled, this stops broadcasts from the access
point of the SSID (Wireless Network Name) for roaming wireless stations. This is
disabled by default.
Wireless Security Mode – Choose the wireless encryption method used for the
wireless network. See the description on the next page for the type of security
selected.
LAN Setup
You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find
it convenient to use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage
the IP settings for their private network. The IP address of the Router is the base
address used for DHCP. In order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP
address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP address of the Router.
The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP address pool will change automatically
if you change the IP address of the Router. See the next section for information
on DHCP setup.
To access the LAN Setup menu, click the LAN Setup button in the Setup directory.
To change the LAN IP Address or Subnet Mask, type in the desired values and click
the Save Settings button. Your Web browser should automatically be redirected to
the new IP address. You will be asked to login again to the Router’s Web manager.
The DHCP server is enabled by default for the Router’s Ethernet LAN interface.
DHCP service will supply IP settings to workstations configured to automatically
obtain IP settings that are connected to the Router though the Ethernet port. When
the Router is used for DHCP it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client
connected to it. Keep in mind that if you change the IP address of the Router the
range of IP addresses in the pool used for DHCP on the LAN will also be changed.
The IP address pool can be up to 253 IP addresses.
The second IP address entered is the highest IP address number in the pool. Type
in the DHCP Lease Time in the entry field provided. This is the amount of time in
seconds that a workstation is allowed to reserve an IP address in the pool if the
workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off.
If you opt to disable DHCP service, all IP devices connected to the Router will
require manual IP settings configuration or another DHCP server.
Advanced Setup
The Advanced directory tab offers the following configuration menus: Port Forwarding, DNS Setup, VLAN, Firewall & DMZ, Advanced ADSL, Advanced Wireless,
Wi-Fi Protected Setup, Wireless MAC Filter, and Advanced LAN. Click the corresponding link in the left panel of the window. Port Forwarding is the first menu
listed and the first to appear when accessing the Advanced directory.
Port Forwarding
The Port Forwarding menu allows configuration for remote users access to various services outside of their LAN through a public IP address, such as FTP (File
Transfer Protocol) or HTTPS (Secure Web). After configuring the Router for these features, the Router will redirect these external services to an appropriate server
on the users LAN.
Enter an IP address in the Private IP field, select a Protocol Type from the drop-
down menu, enter a range of ports in the Public Start Port and Public End Port
fields, and then click the Add/Apply button. Finally, click the Reboot button on the
left panel to let your changes take effect.
DNS Setup
Use the DNS Setup menu to configure standard DNS server IP settings or to configure and enable DDNS for the Router.
DNS Server
Choose to “Obtain DNS server address automatically” from the ISP or enter DNS
IP address information manually. The Preferred DNS Server address is required,
the Alternate DNS Server address is used for a back up DNS server.
DDNS
Dynamic DNS allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host
name in any of the many domains, allowing access to a specific host from various
locations on the Internet. With this function enabled, remote access to a host will be
allowed by clicking a URL hyperlink in the following form: dlinkddns.com Because
many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, it can be difficult to locate a
specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS. For example, if you are running
a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can
be located from the Internet if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that
an account be set up with one of the supported DDNS servers.
To implement Dynamic DNS, first select the Enable Dynamic DNS option and
choose the Server Address from the list in the pull-down menu. Enter the Host
Name of the LAN to be accessed, and the Username and Password for the DDNS
account. Click the Apply Settings button to save changes made.
VLAN
Use the VLAN menu to create VLAN groups for the wireless and Ethernet LANs.
VLAN Group Setting
Use the VLAN menu to choose a number for the VLAN group. To make sure
additional VLAN groups use unique index numbers, the menu will automatically
select a new index number for configuration after applying the VLAN group settings.
Click to select the member ports of each VLAN group for the two Ethernet ports
and WLAN interface and the ATM VCs port for each VLAN. Any port may be
specified as Tagged.
Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID information) can be transmitted
from one 802.1Q compliant network device to another with the VLAN information
intact. This allows 802.1Q VLANs to span network devices (and indeed, the entire
network, if all network devices are 802.1Q compliant).
Select the Tagged option to enable tagging for the port. Ports with tagging enabled
will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the header of all
packets that flow into and out of it. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port
will not alter the packet, thus keeping the VLAN information intact. Other 802.1Q
compliant devices on the network to make packet-for¬warding decisions can then
use the VLAN information in the tag.
VLAN Group is enabled by default. VLAN Groups can be disabled without changing
the previously configured VLAN arrangement. To disable VLAN Groups, click the
Enable VLAN Group check box to remove the tick.
DMZ Settings
Firewalls may conflict with certain interactive applications such as video conferencing
or playing Internet video games. For these applications, a firewall bypass can be set
up using a DMZ IP address. The DMZ IP address is a “visible” address and does not
benefit from the full protection of the firewall function. Therefore it is advisable that
other security precautions be enabled to protect the other computers and devices
on the LAN. It may be wise to use isolate the device with the DMZ IP address from
the rest of the LAN.
For example, if you want to use video conferencing and still use a firewall, you can
place the server in the DMZ. The IP address of this server will then be the DMZ IP
address. You can designate the server’s IP address as the DMZ by typing in the
IP address in the DMZ IP Address space provided and then enabling its status by
selecting the Enable DMZ option. Click the Apply Settings button at the bottom
of the window when you are finished.
Advanced ADSL
ADSL modulation is configured in the Advanced ADSL menu. The default setting automatically detects the appropriate modulation for the connection, therefore it
should not be necessary to change this setting for the Router to function.
Modulation types supported by the Router include: ADSL2, ADSL2+, G.DMT T1.143
and G.lite. If the Modulation Mode is changed from the default Auto Synch-Up, the
mode used must be supported by the ISP in order for the ADSL signal to function.
Likewise for changing the ANNEX type, if the Type used is not supported by the
ISP in your region, the ADSL signal will not function.
The Bitswap and SRA (Seamless Rate Adaptation) features can be enabled here.
If your ADSL modulation is ADSL2 or ADSL2+, these features will only be useful if
supported by the ISP. If you opt to use either of these, some experimentation might
be advisable to test ADSL synchronization and signal performance for improvement
or degradation.
Advanced Wireless
Advanced Wireless settings are used to tweak various wireless transmission parameters and to enable an additional SSID or Guest SSID.
Transmit Power
Allows the user to adjust the transmit power of the router. A high transmit power
allows a greater area range of accessibility to the router. When multiple overlapping
access points are present, it may be desirable to reduce transmission power.
Bandwidth
Select the desired bandwidth. Toggle between Up to 65Mbps and Up to 135Mbps.
MCS
Select the MCS, between 0 and 15, or use Auto.
Fragmentation Threshold
The fragmentation threshold will determine if packets are to be fragmented. Packets
over the 2346 byte limit will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default
setting.
RTS Threshold
The RTS (Request to Send) Threshold controls the size of data packets issued to
a RTS packet. A lower level will send packets more frequently which may consume
a great amount of the available bandwidth. A high threshold will allow the router to
recover from interference or collisions which is more prevalent in a network with
high traffic or high electromagnetic interference. The default setting is 2347.
DTIM Interval
DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a countdown informing clients
of the next menu for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The default
setting is 1.
Beacon Period
Beacons are emitted from the router in order to synchronize the wireless network.
You may set the Beacon Interval range between 20 and 1000 microseconds per
beacon sent. The default is 100.
Click the Apply Settings button to save and apply the advanced wireless
configuration settings.
Current PIN
This is the PIN used by WPS supporting clients to establish the WPS connection.
This is done either by using the wireless client to generate the PIN, then entering
the client generated PIN into the access point (the router). This first method is
generally the preferred method since many WPS enabled wireless clients do not
include the ability to enter a PIN generated by another system. Alternatively, the
access point (the router) is used to generate the PIN and this is entered into the
WPS enabled wireless client.
The router’s PIN used to establish WPS connections to other WPS enabled wireless
devices.
When activated the filter rule becomes effective immediately. The MAC filter rule
can be deactivated by selecting the Deactivated option for Status. Deactivating
MAC filters will not change any MAC addresses entered on the list.
.
Advanced LAN
Use the Advanced LAN menu to enable or disable UPnP and multicast streaming.
UPnP or Universal Plug and Play is disabled by default. This network protocol is
used to simplify networking and is supported on many types of networking devices.
Devices that support UPnP advertise their services and capabilities to other UPnP
enabled devices to facilitate network applications such as streaming audio or video.
To use UPnP, tick the Enable UPnP check box.
Click the Apply Settings button to save and apply the advanced LAN configuration.
.
Maintenance
Use the menus in the Maintenance directory to perform routine maintenance functions such as saving configuration settings to hard disk, upgrading device firmware,
viewing system logs, and performing device diagnostic tests.
Password
Typically one of the first things the administrator is likely to change is the device password used to access the management software. The administrator’s user name,
admin, cannot be changed. The default password can be changed with the Password menu.
Change the password and click the Apply Settings button to establish the new
password.
.
Save/Restore Settings
It is a good idea to store a back up copy of the configuration settings file on the hard drive of the system used to administer the Router. Use this menu to save a
settings file, load a settings file or restore the device to factory default settings.
To save the current configuration settings to your computer, click the Save/Restore
Settings button in the Maintenance directory to display the System Settings menu.
Click the Save button to Save Settings to Local Hard Drive. You will be prompted
to select a location on your computer to put the file.
To load a previously saved configuration file, click the Browse button and locate the
file on your computer. Click the Update Settings button to Load Settings From
Local Hard Drive. Confirm that you want to load the file when prompted and the
process is completed automatically. The Router will reboot and begin operating
with the configuration settings that have just been loaded.
To reset the Router to its factory default settings, click the Restore Device button.
You will be prompted to confirm your decision to reset the Router. The Router will
reboot with the factory default settings including IP address (192.168.1.1) with
DHCP enabled and default administrator password (admin)
Firmware Update
Use this menu to load the latest firmware for the device. Note that the device configuration settings may return to the factory default settings, so make sure you save
the configuration settings with the Save/Restore Settings menu described above or click the Backup Now button to go through the same procedure.
To upgrade firmware, type in the name and path of the file or click on the Browse
button to search for the file. Click the Update Firmware button to begin copying
the file. The file will load and restart the Router automatically.
Diagnostics
This menu is used to test connectivity of the Router. A Ping test may be done through the local or external interface to test connectivity to known IP addresses. The
diagnostics feature executes a series of tests of your system software and hardware connections. Use this menu when working with your ISP to troubleshoot problems.
Click the Re_run Diagnostics Tests button to view the connectivity status of the
WAN connection.
